Main Characters (4)
Summary
As Orihime stares at the Hollow clutching his severed arm, Ulquiorra merely sighs and grows a fresh one. He explains that regeneration, not raw power, is his greatest strength, able to rebuild any part of him save his organs and brain, and insists that the change of shape will not save Ichigo. He conjures a Lanza del Relampago, a javelin of spirit energy, and hurls it; the throw barely misses and detonates with staggering force behind its target.
Key Events
Admitting the weapon is harder to control than expected, Ulquiorra readies another, but the Hollow appears at his back and flings the torn-off arm at him. Ulquiorra cuts it down and swings his javelin, only for the creature to catch the shaft bare-handed, crush it, and rake a slash across his torso. Ulquiorra collapses, unable to accept defeat at the hands of a human turned Hollow. The Hollow pins his head underfoot and charges a Cero point-blank; Ulquiorra says he has nothing left to live for and invites the killing blow, and the Cero erupts in a massive explosion.
